Fingerlift Tapes: Maximum Efficiency for Packaging, Bookbinding & Signage

Fingerlift Tape. Saves Seconds on Every Bond

In manual assembly, hard-to-remove protective liners cost valuable seconds per cycle. In print shops, lettershops and the packaging industry in particular, these time losses add up to significant productivity losses across hundreds or thousands of bonding operations per shift. Error rates also rise when operators work with gloves and cannot grip the liner reliably, manual production suffers from longer cycle times and increased waste.

The Solution: Fingerlift Technology

Tool-Free Removal

The protruding liner (configurable one-sided or double-sided) acts as a pull tab. Simply grip, peel, bond, no auxiliary tool required, and reliably operable even with protective gloves.

Process Reliability

No adhesive bleed at the edges, the tape stack is safe without unwanted bonding during storage and transport. The clean edges reduce waste and returns.

Contract Converting & Custom Work

We convert virtually any tape from our range, such as nonwoven tape or film tape, or customer-supplied material with fingerlift tabs. Standard bond widths: 6 / 9 / 12 / 18 mm with 2× 3 mm overhang. Delivery as roll, on sheets or as individual pieces.

Contract Converting

Your material, our expertise: We convert virtually any tape from our range with fingerlift tabs. We also convert customer-supplied material to finished fingerlift rolls with professional quality and consistent results.

The process:

• Material intake: Inspection of your jumbo rolls for processability
• Slitting & fingerlift: Precise application of the protruding liner to your required width
• Winding: On standard cores (25 mm, 38 mm, 76 mm) or your special core
• Documentation: Batch traceability and quantity control

Whether 500 rolls or 50,000, we scale converting to your needs. Delivery throughout Germany and to Austria and Switzerland, on request also Europe-wide, with reliable delivery dates.

Applications

Gloved Operator Assembly

In electronics and medical device assembly, operators wear gloves that prevent direct liner grip. Fingerlift tabs maintain full liner removal speed, no workflow interruption.

Automated Liner Removal

In semi-automated processes, fingerlift tabs allow simple mechanical liner removal with a peel pin or vacuum gripper, without specialist tape dispensers.

FAQ

What is the difference between one-sided and double-sided fingerlift?

One-sided fingerlift means the liner protrudes on one side only and serves as a pull tab, ideal when the other liner is already removed by a separate process or when you only need one fast access side. Double-sided fingerlift provides an overhang on both sides and enables even faster handling, particularly for rolls that are changed or processed multiple times. The choice depends on your specific assembly or converting process.

Can any tape be converted with fingerlift?

Yes. We convert virtually any double-sided tape, whether from our own range or customer-supplied. Contact us with your material data for feasibility confirmation.

How much faster is assembly with fingerlift tapes in practice?

In practice, fingerlift tapes typically save several seconds per liner removal. With manual assembly involving hundreds or thousands of parts per shift, these savings add up to a measurable productivity gain over the course of a workday. The exact saving depends on your process speed, the number of operations per cycle and working conditions (with/without gloves, lighting conditions). We are happy to carry out an efficiency measurement with you to quantify the exact savings.
